==Early life and education==
Honness was born to George Gill Honness and Mary Van Syckle Leigh in Boonton, New Jersey on June 29, 1904. She grew up in the Catskill Mountains area of southeastern New York. Her father worked as the civil engineer in charge of the Reservoir Department of New York City. Honness attended the Beard School in Orange, New Jersey (now Morristown-Beard School).〔 In her freshman year at the school, she created a drawing that made the roll of honor at ''St. Nicholas'' magazine, a children's magazine. Following high school, Honness completed her bachelor's degree in English at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York in 1926.〔 During her studies, Honness penned a poem selected for the anthology ''Poets of the Future'' published by the Stratford Company in Boston, Massachusetts.
In 1931, Honness returned to Skidmore to read selections of her poetry set to music to an audience at College Hall. She read from her published volume titled ''Poems from Beyond the Hill''. Honness later served as an alumnae member of Skidmore College's Board of Trustees for seven years (1937-1944). She also served as a secretary and class agent for her graduating class. In 1987, the Skidmore College Alumni Association awarded Honness their Distinguished Achievement Award to recognize professional and personal accomplishments.
